Chapter 1218 A Classic Appears!

The demise of Hong Kong directors, and even the film industry in Hong Kong, is ultimately their own fault.

But you can't deny that there are still many additional factors.

For example, Xiangjiang Film Company has been complaining that the mainland's film market was opened too late and started too late. It did not allow them to borrow power at all and did not allow them to enjoy the benefits brought by the vast mainland market.

For another example, the Hong Kong government does not provide that much support to the film industry, which is far behind Japan, South Korea and the United States.

Especially South Korea, in the future they will develop their idol culture to the extreme, which is inseparable from the support and help from all over South Korea.

South Korea regards the entertainment industry as a pillar industry of the nation. Why don’t their Korean Wave become popular throughout Asia?

But there is one thing.

There are very few young people in the Korean entertainment industry, almost none.

Xiangjiang is different. There are not just one or two people who eat everything.

If you want the country to support this group of people, I'm afraid you're not that stupid, right?

You yourself are not of the same mind as us, and you still want us to spend money and support you with policies... Do you really think we are idiots?

Let’s not talk about the past life for now.

It is also impossible for Yin Jun to help everyone in this life. He will only choose those who follow him.

McDonald's is obviously one of them.

This is a very pure person who makes movies and never gets involved in matters other than movies, which makes Yin Jun feel relieved.

Even if there are many metaphors and ironies in his movies, they are definitely tolerable.

At least they didn't talk nonsense and didn't accuse people randomly, right?

Just like Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", the audience is always discerning.

Before, before today, in fact, Huang Xizhao, the general manager of ATV, had mentioned to Yin Jun twice that McDonald's was going to make a movie and asked Yin Jun to consider helping him.

McDang Xiong is Huang Xizhao's first general. Even without Yin Jun's script, the TV series produced by McDang Xiong are guaranteed to receive ratings.

It stands to reason that Huang Xizhao is not willing to let McDonald Bear out.

But Huang Xizhao has never been a stingy and narrow-minded person. No matter how high McDonald's rose in the TV station, he would be the number one person in the production department within ten years.

For such a talented and loyal subordinate, of course he must take care of him and give him a better future.

He told Yin Jun about this matter without telling McDonald's Bear, but Yin Jun didn't agree twice.

It's not because Yin Jun doesn't want to take care of McDang Bear, but because Yin Jun needs McDang Bear to settle down again and then sum up his movie concept.

Now it seems that the time has come.

"Master Jun, I have already talked with Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhong. I want to come out and make my own movies." McDonald's character is originally roundabout. He is used to being straightforward. "Do you see any What’s suitable for my script? Don’t worry, I know the rules and everything will follow them.”

McDonald's Bear is not yet the boss of McDonald's, but he has plenty of momentum.

Yin Jun nodded slightly, "How are you going to make a movie? Do you have enough money?"

"Where do I have any money?" McDonald laughed, "My brother and I only have a million or so. I plan to set up a studio by myself first, and after I get a suitable script, I will work with the movie The company talks about cooperation, they invest, and then after the movie is released, they share it in proportion.”

Ordinary studios, that is, McDonald’s does this.

In his previous life, he was like this when he started making movies.

After several blockbuster movies, McDonald's began to make movies on his own.

The advantage of this is that it can maximize profits, but the disadvantage is also huge, that is, once a loss occurs, there will be no financial backers to help you carry it.

Fatty Wang is much smarter. No matter how creative a movie is, he will always cooperate with others. Whether it is the Xiang brothers, Yang Shoucheng, or anyone else, everyone can participate, gain benefits, and share equally.

This also applies to Xu Ke.

It's just that Mr. Xu's standards are much higher. As soon as his movie is launched, it will attract countless people's attention, and he will not be short of money.

Since everyone is not a time traveler, it should be said that their film studio approach is the most appropriate.

So the popularity of these two people has reached 2020, while McDonald's Bear disappeared in the 1990s.

This cannot be said to mean that McDonald's Bear is overestimating its capabilities. McDonald's Bear just has too many ideas and wants to do things according to his own ideas, so he is not willing to accept investment from outsiders and then be controlled by outsiders.

It took him a long time to wake up, and the resulting movie was called "Black Gold."

No matter how well Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau performed, and how highly "Black Gold" was praised by later generations of Internet people, it just failed, and it failed completely, throwing McDonald's last movie dream into the abyss.

Since Yin Jun decided to help McDonald's Bear, he naturally wouldn't make it too difficult for him.

"You have a good idea." Yin Jun mused, "Let's put the studio under the banner of Kirin Films, and we will help you with the film budget as much as possible. Kirin Films' resources are also I will be open to you, and you should believe me, I won’t do those tricks when it comes to profit sharing negotiations.”

McDonald's laughed.

He knew which companies Yin Jun was talking about.

In fact, when it comes to box office sharing, there are more tricks that can be played than people imagine.

Those celebrities simply can't beat the bosses who are full of ideas.

This is why later on, celebrities who learned well received fixed salaries instead of dividends and so on.

For example, Cheng Long, since 2012, the salary for a movie has been more than 100 million. How much you earn for the rest is your business. I will not interfere or share any dividends.

McDonald's himself is a general of ATV. He has been in this industry for so many years, so of course he knows the Naxi tricks.

He also understood that Yin Jun did not lie.

With Yin Jun's temper and character, it is indeed impossible to do anything in this regard.

Look at the remuneration and share he promised to Fei Xiang, Zhou Runfa, Wang Jing and others, they are strictly accurate and will not be deductions or false accounting.

So despite the fact that Qilin Films doesn’t make many movies, many filmmakers like to work with them.

McDonald's had also thought before about whether he should follow the example of Hung Kam-bao, Cheng Long, and the Hui brothers, and decide which company to affiliate with after setting up a studio.

The best choice is of course Qilin Film Company, but it is said that even Wang Jing failed to get affiliated with the company, so McDonald's Bear did not regard this place as his first choice.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun actually took the initiative to extend an olive branch, which made McDonald's bear suddenly excited, feeling that his ability was recognized by Yin Jun.

"It's easy to talk about studio matters. I'll just let my brother McDangjie do the talking." McDangxiong quickly made a decision, "What I'm concerned about is, Mr. Jun, what kind of notebook can you give me?"

Since Yin Jun wants to recruit him, the script will definitely not be stingy.

He was right. Yin Jun smiled and took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the bag next to him and handed it to him.

McDonald's didn't care about being rude and just took it over and looked at it.

There are four large antique characters written on the cover.

"heroic nature".

McDonald's said sorry, opened the script, and started reading right there.

Yin Jun didn't urge him and drank his coffee slowly.

"A Better Tomorrow" is Wu Yusen's turnaround. It is also through this movie that Wu Yusen has completely established his own style, focusing on doves, heroes, morality, and brotherhood.

This idea is very good, so Wu Yusen became very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and even went to Hollywood to direct Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 2".

But the problem is that Wu Yusen will not change himself after he becomes successful. He keeps repeating his own routines, so after a few more movies like this, everyone is tired of it.

Including his 2017 "Pursuit", although there are two male heroes, Zhang Hanyu and Fukuyama Masaharu, the box office was surprisingly unsuccessful. The reason is that he is behind the times.

However, in this life, Wu Yusen's turnaround was taken away by Yin Jun in advance and handed over to McDonald's Bear.

McDonald's movies have always been fierce in style, and the theme of this kind of movie about feuding and feuding is very suitable for him.

The status of "A Better Tomorrow" in Xiangjiang movies and even Chinese-language movies goes without saying. Everyone who has watched Xiangjiang movies knows it, and everyone who knows Chinese-language movies knows it.

With this script, McDonald's will definitely become famous in one fell swoop and become another new star in the Hong Kong film industry.

As a gold medal producer for more than ten years, McDonald's was very familiar with the script. He first read it roughly once, and then repeated it two or three times on important passages. After only half an hour, he had a rough understanding of the script. But in the heart.

"The most outstanding ones here are not the police brother Song Zijie, but Xiao Ma and Song Zihao. Mr. Jun, it's quite interesting that you use the role of police officers to contrast the friendship between Jianghu." McDonald's Bear drank his cold drink. Coffee, "I like this kind of script very much, especially those lines of Xiao Ma. Only people with stories and experiences can say them."

"As long as you like it. If there are no problems, you can prepare it when you go back. If you need anything, you can talk to Yu Zheng and Wen Jun." Yin Jun nodded.

Of course Yin Jun would not tell him. The reason why he could see this was that he deliberately deepened his description of Brother Ma instead of just skipping it with a few simple strokes like in the previous life's script.

To be honest, if Chow Run-fat hadn't known how to add drama to his performance and make his performance vivid, Ma Ge would have been just an ordinary character and would not have become an eternal classic.

In this life, Chow Yun-fat cannot play the role of Ponyboy, because no one in Xiangjiang can suppress Chow Yun-fa and let him play a role that is obviously the third protagonist.

Therefore, Yin Jun does not intend to interfere with McDonald's selection of Ma Ge.

But there was one role that he had to decide on, "I wrote Song Zijie based on Leslie Cheung's image. Is it okay with him to play the role?"

"no problem!"

McDonald's readily agreed.

Leslie Cheung's original TV contract was with Li's, and he and McDonald's were acquainted. McDonald's admired such a suave young man who also loved and respected his work very much.

When he was in Li's, McDonald's chose Leslie Cheung to star in several TV series. Although he was not as successful as him in singing, he could still be considered a compliment to Leslie Cheung.

Not to mention that Yin Jun personally recommended it. If you don't give him this little face, then McDonald's Bear will be very ignorant.

"As for the remaining roles, you have to choose them yourself." Yin Jun said, "Money is not an issue, and schedule is not an issue. If it doesn't work, I will go find them."

"good!"

McDonald's was grinning from ear to ear.

Now that Yin Jun has said so, who is he afraid of not being able to invite?

Which movie star would not give Yin Jun face?

As long as the cast is strong and this is a good book, the first movie of your studio will be a hit! !

With a good start, the rest will be much smoother, and you don’t have to worry about the negative impacts of a bad start!
